THE LIGHT OF LOVE,

Fair IL the flush ofthe summer dawn.
when The gate Of pearl uneioses.
ASit glimmers along the dewy lawn
And shimmers amid the roses
As it xakesfhe little drops of dew
To quiverinTs OF delight.
Aud threads the aisles offhe forest thro'
ON the trail Of the flying night
sofi In she gleam ofthe summer stars
When the feverish day is over,
When the fays are aiioai in silvery cars,
ana the dusky moth Is a rover,
When o'er the couch of the dreaming how'rs
The mists Of The fountain creep,
And the langlIid ears OF the drowsy hours
Are wood by song Of tbe deep.
But the dazzling hnes Of the morning fall
And dan ane it, golden lances.
And all the light ofthe STAR grow pale,
In my darling tender ginnccs
For the stan may burn with thousand dives
And a myriad susheans fall,
Bur the light Of love in woEnan's eyes

out of the buggy and went to its assist

was TO be seen, but instead a pet crow,
which the family had confined during
their absence. He was still satisfied
there was a child around, until the crow.

Managing Manures.


Among some farmers there Is u com

fangsr or passes through the heating
process which is so intense that the ma
nure is well burned up. This exceeding
ly iujurious to the manure, and can, and
should be prevented. II occurs. or Is
liable 10 occur. when the manure is
thrown loosely onto a pile, and without
being disturbed. viii commence to gen
crate heat. Horse manure has stronger
tendency in that direction than that of
most any other animal, and this can be
prevented, and the value OF the manure
maintained, if attended to as it should
be. There is no trouble where, as is
sometimes the case, horse manure is cast
into a hog pen, as it is then worked over
with the hog manure, whereby both are
improved. Another method which is
equally as efiectual in preventing heat
ing, is to cart.the same under shed,
where cattle are accustomed TO tired or 10
lie ; when packed thus closely, ana Wei,
as it occasionally must be, by the urine
of animals, il is kept moist until wanted
for use. The same practice in connection
with sheep would be valuable, and equal
ly as eifectual We have always found
that any manure that left to itself, thrown
loosely into pile, was liable to become
heated, when packed tightly under The
tread of animals, would be preserved
with all its manureal value retained.
sheep manure, while thus kept closely
packed, excluding the air, will not heat,
but when loosely pitched into pile viii
soon heat and expel the valueable ele-
ments of fertility.

can be reached. The Council also struck
from the files the special ordinance, and made
the existing general ordinance the basis OF
future amendment. 1t is perhaps as well that
this action was taken. There will be time
for foolish prejudice to wear away and for
Utopian schemes to be buried in oblivion.
Then some sensible business arrangement can
be made, whereby the benefits of nat ural gas
can be secured to the city without the sacri-
fee of any of the just rights of the commu-
nifty. Such consummation is possible if both
parties to the agreement care to reach it, and
that should be the only basis of action. But
the folderol of expecting gas under the pres
ent ordinance should be absolutely dismissed
from the mind. That idea is born only of
unreasoning prejudice or Of an interest to
keep gas out of the city.

GERMAN IN THE SCHOOLS:
error.

The question of teaching German in the
public schools is under discussion in st.
Louis. The Anzeiger des Westerns defends
German instruction on the ground that the
Germans form so large part of the popula-
ton that they are entitled to have their Ian
guage taught in the schools. In other words,
it puts it On the ground that the Germans
have this right The Republican replies at
length. taking the ground that in this country
all nationalities are merged in the American,
and that no foreign language or foreign inter-
est should be considered for a moment as
against those of the public at large. 1t says:
'.As matter of practical experience it has
been found that the rudiments of education
cannot be we'll taught when it is attempted
to teach them in two languages. This is the
question for st. Louisans to consider. Let
the question of birth be waived. Let it be
admitted that here in st. Louis neither
English nor German is foreign and the only
question that remains is of thorough

and efficient education in the rudiments
which are considered necessary to intelli-
gent citizenship. The thorough mastery of
more than one language is advantage as
great as it is rare. Not person in five
thousand of those who attempt to acquire
more than one language stand the test:
ability to think in it. Two languages can
not be so taught in the primary schools as to
enable the child to think in them, and we re-
peat that the German learned in the primary
schools of st. Louis is wretched German-a
jargon worse than no German"
These points are well put They have in
substance, been made in this paper, and will
commend themselves to intelligent people
everywhere 1t is only question of time
when the teaching of German will be abol-
ished in all our public schools. The present
instruction is worthless, interferes with En-
gllsh instruction, and tends to foster and
keep alive a recognition of foreign nationali-
ties instead of assimilating them as rapidly
and completely as possible into the American.
